Textiles and apparel are amongst our primary necessities. The increasing environmental
problems associated with the voluminous textile waste discarded in landfills have urged the …

Fibres have been used in construction materials for a very long time. Through previous
research and investigations, the use of natural and synthetic fibres have shown promising …

Glass fiber and liquid-modified polyvinyl alcohol polymer (SH Polymer) are used to reinforce
granite residual soil. In this paper, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests and drop …

As a kind of highly weathered special soil in South China, granite residual soils (GRS)
feature high strength and high void ratio in a dry environment, so they tend to disintegrate in …

Many studies have been carried out on the influence of freeze–thaw cycles on the
mechanical behavior of cement-or lime-stabilized soils. However, very limited studies have …

Coupling method of fiber reinforcement and microbial induced carbonate precipitation
(MICP) stabilization was adopted to improve the tensile behaviors of calcareous sand. Three …

Micaceous soils are common in many tropical countries and regions, and in some locations
with moderate climate. The soils are spongy and unstable when loaded and are not …

In response to the global outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), a staggering
amount of personal protective equipment, such as disposable face masks, has been used …

Expansive soils are problematic for their relatively low load bearing capacity and extensive
swelling-shrinkage deformations. Therefore, treatment of such soils is often considered to be …

The utilizing of traditional chemical stabilizers could improve soil engineering properties but
also results in brittle behavior and causes environmental problems. This study investigates …
